Notes on the record

Google's second Dallas-Fort Worth campus. First building operational late 2025; second building under construction as of Nov 2025 per Mayor Stanfill. 166 acres at FM 664 (Ovilla Rd) and SH 342; shell entity Alamo Mission LLC used in Ellis County negotiations. investmentUsd records only the $330M confirmed initial investment; the frequently cited $600M+ is a multi-phase projection (in notes). Capacity in MW not publicly disclosed. Google pledged a $150,000 STEM grant to Red Oak ISD; grid reinforcements estimated ~$72M. Part of Google's broader $40B Texas commitment. Coordinates are the Red Oak town centroid (no parcel GPS confirmed). The 2018 abatement's scope vs the separate Midlothian campus is not fully disambiguated in the public record.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.

  • Power capacity in megawatts
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap
Power capacity in megawatts
The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
Permanent jobs promised
The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
Which utility serves it
The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
